Deep South Music Tour

Music isn’t just something you hear in the Deep South — it’s a way of life. This specially crafted tour brings together three legendary cities that have shaped modern music as we know it, giving you the chance to follow the trail of blues, soul, country, and rock ‘n’ roll.

Your journey begins in New Orleans, a city that seems to dance to its own tune. From the soulful sounds of live jazz spilling out of Bourbon Street to the French Quarter’s cobbled streets and Creole flavours, this is where your adventure comes alive. You’ll have time to soak in the city’s rich culture, try authentic Cajun food, and perhaps take a steamboat ride along the Mississippi.

Next, you head north to Memphis, a city that still hums with the echoes of the blues. The highlight here is a guided tour of Graceland, the home of Elvis Presley, where you’ll step into the world of the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll. Memphis also offers the famous Beale Street nightlife, the historic Sun Studio, and the National Civil Rights Museum, making it a city that blends music, history, and emotion in equal measure.

Finally, your tour ends in Nashville, the world’s country music capital. Known as “Music City,” Nashville is home to the Grand Ole Opry, the Country Music Hall of Fame, and countless live music venues where every performance feels personal. Beyond the music, the city’s southern hospitality, vibrant streets, and hearty cuisine ensure your holiday closes on a high note.

Throughout the 9-night journey, you’ll stay in comfortable hotels, enjoy seamless transfers, and travel with the reassurance that every key detail is organised for you. Whether you’re following the footsteps of Elvis, tapping your feet to live jazz, or joining the crowds at a Nashville honky-tonk, this tour ensures you experience the very best of America’s Deep South.

This is more than just a holiday — it’s a chance to walk through living history, to hear the soundtrack of a nation, and to bring home memories that will last a lifetime.

The Deep South Music Tour is set for departure on 3 December 2025, making it a carefully timed journey that allows travellers to enjoy the vibrant culture of New Orleans, the soul of Memphis, and the country rhythms of Nashville during a quieter season. Unlike the busier spring and summer months, December brings a calmer pace, allowing you to explore iconic music landmarks without the usual crowds. It’s a wonderful opportunity to enjoy each city at a more relaxed rhythm while still soaking in their unmistakable energy.

Travelling in early December also means you’ll experience a festive touch throughout the region. New Orleans’ French Quarter shimmers with holiday decorations, Memphis showcases Graceland adorned for Christmas, and Nashville hosts seasonal shows and lights that add extra warmth to the musical journey. While the temperatures are cooler than in summer, the atmosphere is lively and welcoming, making this an ideal time to experience the Deep South’s charm with fewer queues and a more personal connection to each destination.

The package includes flights from London Heathrow to New Orleans at the start of your adventure, and a return flight from Nashville back to London Heathrow at the end of your nine-night stay. All transfers and scheduled experiences are arranged to ensure smooth travel throughout. With everything organised, you simply need to mark the dates, pack your bags, and prepare for an unforgettable musical journey across America’s most iconic cities.
